Part 2: Our City, Our Rights: Housing + Advocacy

Our City, Our Rights: Housing + Advocacy continues MOCAD’s two-part advocacy series with a community-centered workshop focused on housing justice, tenant rights, and the systems that shape access to safe, stable, and dignified housing. This gathering invites neighbors to learn more about the legal, civic, and community-based tools available to support housing security across Detroit.

Presented in partnership with the Detroit Justice Center, this session will offer accessible information and practical guidance for community members navigating housing concerns, displacement pressures, tenant protections, and neighborhood advocacy. Through conversation, resource-sharing, and collective learning, participants will be invited to consider housing not only as an individual need but as a shared community issue connected to dignity, justice, and belonging.

As the second part of the Our City, Our Rights series, Housing + Advocacy builds on the June immigration-focused workshop by continuing to explore how communities can better understand their rights, access support, and advocate for themselves and one another. Together, these programs position MOCAD as a gathering place where contemporary art, civic education, and community care intersect.
